[QUOTE="genxx, post: 3221596, member: 575023"] These are always fun to read and so debatable. It has been debated what like a billion times already and I have still never seen a true 100% definitive answer. If anyone has seen a 100%definitive answer please give me a link. I don't think people will ever agree on this topic. Once you get some super crazy smart people involved in the discussion which has happened in multiple threads it always seems split down the middle. Some knowledge guys have chimed in here as well. One thing I have learned is I don't not get involved in these debates anymore. I have my personnel preference and that’s what I use. Its good reading though. One thing to think about is most of the heavy hitters in SQ are running some form of DSP and they can tweak whatever they need to get a desired sound out of a high quality amp. I no longer argue about what an amp actually sounds like. I prefer to look at the quality and components used. If they are designed well, have excellent quality, great components and they are within my budget then I will use them. My personnel preference of quality amps that [B]I can afford [/B]on the current market are Zapco, ARC, Audison, Zed Audio and Aura. Not including some of the OS stuff to many to list. I just like them all for different reasons. Keep the debate going its great reading. [/QUOTE]
